Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Announcement: OPP at the Orlando Pro Summer League This Week

Just as a heads up, I'm blogging the AirTran Pro Summer League all this week from Orlando. You can follow all the Day One action in this StoryStream at SBNation.com. As I type this post, the Orlando Magic's squad trails the Indiana Pacers' by 11 with about 7 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter.

I'll tell ya about the Magic It'll free your soul but it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock n roll

The only way to stop LeBron is Smith and Wesson, but even that's a double team.

Robinson looked kinda OK when on the floor

but don’t even mention this game if your name is Orton.

Don't mind my spelling. I'm a Typo Master.

well this guy's a project

but looking at those tweets it looks like he knows he has to improve, that he has a long way to go, which is exactly the sentiment you need to have.

At least I know what bad is, and it didn’t cost us the playoffs or even a regular season game.

I’m keeping an eye on Randle. He had game-leading 5 assists and a lot of good and bad moments. He’ll need to get better on D, He was guarding Lance, their best player by far, and for whatever reason the SL Magic thinks it best to run very few PnRs for their PGs when the actual Magic lead the league in PnRs, so we’ll see how Randle handles/progresses this week, and see if he could make the actual roster.

he's too small

the 6-5 PG on the Pacers just annihilated the kid. His height alone (like Jameer) makes him a defensive liability. NEXT!

There are some small, successful NBA players you know… Jameer Nelson, Chris Paul, Allen Iverson, Aaron Brooks, that one from Washington thats even like 34- forgot his name, and more..

And I'm taller than all of them!

But they’d all break my ankles for sure too.

I'm a dude!

Yea, Boykins, thanks RL.

all of which

are defensive liabilities except for Paul who makes up for it with steals.

PGs are not expected to be paint patrols...

Chris Paul is an excellent defender with the amount of steals he piles up.

Looking historically, Muggsy Bogues, Calvin Murphy, Tim Hardaway, Terrell Brandon, Dana Barros, Avery Johnson, Spud Webb…all under 6’ tall.

Honor is no substitute for victory.
